Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many children were adopted in each of the last three years.
This question was answered on 21st December 2018
The number of adopted children who were formerly looked-after by the local authority in each of the last three years was published in Table E1 in the statistical release ‘Children looked after in England including adoption: 2017 to 2018’ available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/children-looked-after-in-england-including-adoption-2017-to-2018. The department does not estimate the number of adopted children who were not previously looked-after.
